Thread Name: Origins: Morningtown Ride (Malvina Reynolds)
Subject: RE: Who wrote 'Morningtown Ride'
Joe, you have brought a great memory to my mind; not, as it happens thro' mention of Malvina, but you dropped the name of another Lady, Faith Pertic.Being 'way over in the old U.K.for all the years since I last saw Faith, I couldn't know how her life was progressing, or even if she was still to the fore. I'm glad to hear her discussed as still part of the "scene'! As an "m.c." in Hexham , Engl;and, back in the sixties, one of my nights was blessed by the completely unannounced arrival of a happy troupe of Americans who rejoiced in the name "'Frisco Fire Band" [anybody recall them?]. Faith introduced herself as spokesperson and lead vocal. And what a cracking spot they did for us. They were back as guests on the week following. Faith sang
---without prompting from me---my late Father's favourite--"Home in Pasadena". That sure did tickle me ! Thanks for the wee spark to the memory, Joe!
